The current investigation reveals the presence of 70 plant species spreading over 30 families within the Conifer Forest of Kalash Valley. Noteworthy among these are nine gymnosperm species, with four namely Cedrus deodara, Juniperus excelsa, Juniperus communis, Pinus gerardiana and Pinus wallichiana, prominently shaping various communities. The study identifies 11 distinct communities distributed across diverse localities. The Cedrus deodara and Pinus gerardiana Community emerges as dominant with open canopy. Moreover, they also support maximum floral diversity. Soil and soil component study discerns that the soil in the Bumburet Kalash area proves more conducive to forest ecosystems average pH,  moderate electrical conductivity, lower salinity and facilitating enhanced water movement and nutrient transport and in contrasts with Rambur, which appears to exhibit comparatively poorer fertility in comparison to the other two regions and Rambur was in between.
